PACS firm Genesys and compact video camera manufacturer VisiplexInstruments have inked a joint marketing agreement to sell eachother's products on a global basis. The new alliance was evidentat last month's RSNA meeting, where Visiplex demonstrated Genesysproducts at its booth.
The agreement is good way for both companies to play off eachother's strengths when competing with larger firms, accordingto William Greenblatt, Genesys vice president of sales.
"Even with a PAC system, you still need output peripherals,"Greenblatt said. "Genesys is a smaller company, and it makessense for us to diversify."
Visiplex was formed last July when executives at Agfa's Orangeburg,NY, facility purchased the former Matrix compact camera businessfrom Agfa (SCAN 7/14/93).
Since the purchase, Visiplex has introduced two new compactcameras. CCM601 is an ultrasound camera in both gray-scale andcolor for 4 on 1 and 6 on 1 formats. CCM650 is an ultra-high-resolutioncamera for nuclear medicine and C-arm applications. Both camerashave Food and Drug Administration marketing clearance.
Genesys, of Orlando, FL, displayed new MRI viewing softwareat the Visiplex booth. The works-in-progress software runs onan Imlogix workstation and enables clinicians to view MRI slicessimultaneously. Genesys purchased Imlogix in 1992 (SCAN 12/30/92).
MRI-Based AI Radiomics Model Offers 'Robust' Prediction of Perineural Invasion in Prostate Cancer
July 26th 2024A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
